I also think it would be cool to have a student generated class blog where they write the posts and perhaps the teacher posts once a week?<br /><br />MackenzieMackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00925732213808179771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277983346656387422.post-14998638996200339602014-06-08T10:51:54.978-07:002014-06-08T10:51:54.978-07:00I easily get off track doing the usual weekly news...I easily get off track doing the usual weekly newsletter. Plus, I&#39;m wanting to reduce my paper consumption next year- and I know where all these newsletters eventually end up. #trashbin So, this Spring I started experimenting with a class website using Weebly for Education- and made a startling discovery. All of my parents who originally said they didn&#39;t have e-mail or access to the internet, suddenly all had a smartphone or a tablet, or access to a computer at work in order to see an e-book their child created and posted on the class blog.<br /><br />So- my grand idea for the fall is to keep the updates going on the weebly site, and instead of sending home a newsletter, I&#39;m going to generate a QR code for site access and/or special posts, print them on a 2X4 mailing label, and slap them on the kids jackets when they leave school at the end of the day. <br /><br />In the deviousness of this idea lies the image of a child getting off the bus, and saying &quot;Scan me, Mommy!&quot;. <br /><br />Ahhhh- so World of Tommorrow...<br /><br />That&#39;s the idea anyway. We&#39;ll see if it pans out!<br /><br />~Heather<br /><a href="http://themeekmoose.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Meek Moose</a>The Meek Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764671511197083830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277983346656387422.post-52639893272418764982014-06-01T19:08:50.890-07:002014-06-01T19:08:50.890-07:00Definitely looks like the life of a teacher in the...Definitely looks like the life of a teacher in the summer months!Sunny Beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254979037554423208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277983346656387422.post-37671018646916717772014-05-31T18:05:44.213-07:002014-05-31T18:05:44.213-07:00Thanks Susan!
